Selecting the Top 3 Arsenal Assets to Choose v Wolves? FPL Team of the Week

The key decision in the Fantasy Premier League lineup of the gameweek involves opt for zero City players - and yes, even Haaland!

Our funds are essential to load up on Gunners assets as they welcome one of the poorest teams in Premier League recent memory.

Yes, Manchester City scored in 5 goals on their last away fixture, but this time they face Crystal Palace, a side with the second-strongest defence in the league for goals conceded and fourth-strongest in terms of expected goals conceded.

And the Gunners home to Wolves is the type of fixture you must target - the top side in the league against one lacking of form, quality and confidence.

The squad of the gameweek is selected based on current prices to stay under a £100m limit, as if you were playing a Free Hit chip.

How did Last Week's Team Perform?

No captain return but strong hauls from Bruno Fernandes (eighteen), Ruben Dias (fourteen), Phil Foden (12) and James Tarkowski (nine), plus a lucky sixteen-point Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo produced a huge 83 points total. Boom!

Fantasy Premier League Squad of the Gameweek for Gameweek 16

Defensive Picks

Robin Roefs, Sunderland, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle United (home)

The first derby in the Premier League since 2016 is likely to be loud, passionate, feisty - and it may prove to be one of those games that is full of tension but little goalmouth action.

A scenario that would render Roefs, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good shout.

White, the Gunners, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (h)

An Arsenal defender is a essential pick for this fixture. Wolverhampton have just one goal away from home this season and a single goal in their past 6 fixtures.

Ben White is a excellent attacking option when he gets his opportunity. He started the last two at full-back, registered a fourteen-point return against the Bees and leads the charts in that time among Arsenal defenders with 2 big chances created, two attempts inside the area and an xGI of 0.7.

Cucurella, the Blues, £6.2m - the Toffees (h)

Everton are inconsistent so this pick is focused more on Chelseadefence and Cucurella upside.

Chelsea have the fourth-best defensive record while Cucurella has generated more chances (nineteen) than any defensive player in the league.

And he is yet to score this season, having netted five times the previous campaign.

Dalot, Manchester United, £4.4m - Bournemouth (h)

You shouldn't have high expectations for a United shutout - they have just one this entire campaign - but Bournemouthgoals have dried up in the last two matches.

More importantly, the Portuguese defender has been occupying some incredibly advanced roles as a wing-back in the last three fixtures.

During that spell he's taken four attempts, two clear opportunities, a goal and an assist. He missed a great opportunity at Wolves on Monday too.

Midfield

Bukayo Saka (captain), Arsenal, £10.2m - Wolves (h)

This game against Wolves is too good to pass up and that makes Saka, the Gunners'top offensive asset essential.

No stats required to back this up. Manchester United had 27 shots at Wolverhampton on Monday, scored 4 and might have had twice as many.

The Gunners will be licking their lips.

Declan Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolverhampton (h)

Just a single point behind Fernandes in the midfield scoring list, Declan Rice is incredibly consistent for Arsenal.

With more license to attack this season, he's created more opportunities than any other Arsenal player (twenty-seven) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the surest bet for game time as the manager might view this fixture as a chance to rest his squad.

Bruno Fernandes, United, £9m - the Cherries (home)

The Portuguese playmaker may have taken over from Semenyo as the must-own FPL midfielder.

Match-up proof, consistently a shout for defensive contribution points and with multiple ways to points.

Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - Everton (home)

This week's differential pick, Palmer has his first full ninety minutes under his belt after a lengthy layoff and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he can be.

You get the feeling that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, FPL managers will be flocking to sign him up.

He was absent for ChelseaEuropean loss at Atalanta, but that was the team easing him back carefully so he ought to be fresh for Everton.

Dango Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds United (home)

Leeds United enter this match off the back of two strong home performances against the Blues and Liverpool, but on the road they have conceded three goals for each one they've netted.

This is likely Ouattara final fixture before heading to the AFCON.

He's been superb for Brentford this season, and has five goal contributions in his last three home matches.

Forwards

Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds (h)

It's been a disappointing couple of gameweeks for the striker FPL managers, with just three points in two matches.

Nevertheless, he's the second goal scorer in the division and has seven strikes in seven home games. He is the top forward option this week and, with a kind run of games, you can set and forget up until the end of January at least.

Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton (home)

It is expected that the manager keeps faith with the promising striker, after his two-goal haul at Leeds.

He was well at the beginning of the season and you can't help but think what he would have done had Alexander Isak not arrived and competed with him for playing time at centre-forward.

Substitutes

• Martin Dubravka, the Clarets, £4m - the Cottagers ({h|home
